So why not sue the cover bands that get paid playing at pubs and small events all over the world whilst they are at it?
I imagine that the creators of Guitar Hero could now work out deals with the artists whose songs they use, as the developer and publisher have situated the game on the market and it is quite popular, but I'm sure that if they had did it with the first, or the second Guitar Hero that artists would want nothing to do with it as the game was not solidly proven to be a huge success. Now all of the one hit wonder ass wipes who don't have the creativity to release any other song in what, roughly 30 years? They will start suing Guitar Hero developers too.
I don't know about you but I can't make sense of a bunch of randomly animated band members in Guitar Hero playing, and singing exactly like numerous bands. I think that could be another reason for the whole 'cover band' thing.
Yes the developers and publisher are making money from these cover versions of songs, but are the bands losing any? I'd think that people who play Guitar Hero, and find out about all of these cool songs they've not heard of before would go out and buy some albums from that artist to further appreciate their music, right? Or, I could be mistaken and those people would just download the music illegally and then the artists would get the shits even more, and then sue The Pirate Bay..... Oh wait! That has already happened this year!
I believe some big cover bands do pay royalties. I'm pretty sure that the cover band for the Tragically hip , called "Road Apples" were paying royalties here in Canada.
P.s for all of you who are like "who the funk is The Tragically Hip?" They are One of Canada's biggest bands ever! Great band! Check them out if you like bluesy rock.
